Population growth reflects the importance of iron metallurgy and bananas in sub-Saharan Africa. Population Growth:
400 BCE- 3.5 million
500 BCE- 11 million
800 BCE- 17 million
1000 BCE- 22 million
Camels improved trade because they could last longer than horses in the desert.
The introduction of bananas advanced agriculture.
Their diets consisted of yams, sorghum and millet.
Before the Bantu and Kushite migrations, they adopted cattle.
Gold was a high demand and they hunted, gathered and fished for livings.
Malay seafarers colonized Madagascar and introduced banana farms and brought Asian yams, taro, chickens and southeastern Arian cultural traditions.
Iron metallurgy(fashioned axes, adzes, and hoes), agriculture(influence population growth), camal saddle(helped with trade, when using camals), ocean-going crafts(ships, dhows), stone(buildings).
